For me it was a disaster, even though I comprehensively checked the FAQ 
(including the stuff about how to stop Plugger from interposing).

I managed to get QuickTime stuff playing in Netscape 4.x but I made the 
mistake of selecting QuickTime for mpegs also in the associations.

When I tried to play mpegs it then crashed Netscape, and it always crashes 
when I retry.
Not only that but I now cannot play mpegs in Konq or Opera as they were dealt 
with via the Netscape plugin.

I tried to get back to sanity by changing the MPG mime type back to using 
Plugger but whenever I do this Netscape immediately dies! So I am permanently 
stuck with a broken Crossover plugin for mpegs which I cannot change. 
Aaarrrgghh!

Also, although I had followed all the steps for Konq such as scanning for new 
plugins and checking that the Crossover plugin was found (and at the top of 
the list) - when I try and use it I just get a blank pane with sound but 
nothing displayed. It gives error messages like:

QObject::connect: No such signal NSPluginInstance::destroyed()
QObject::connect:  (sender name:   'unnamed')
QObject::connect:  (receiver name: '_ptrpriv')
DCOP aborting call from 'konqueror-26021' to 'nspluginviewer-26021'

Pretty sad.
Opera does nothing either, even though it finds the plug in type correctly. 
It just behaves as if there is null-plugin when I try it.
